Lastly, co-parenting after a divorce is not easy. It takes commitment, flexibility and at times, giving in for the sake of your children.

Knowing their child since the date of his/her birth, they are aware of his/her abilities and necessities. Their advice may be helpful. On the other hand, career planning and choice of the future profession is to be a conscious decision of a grown up person. That is why it is necessary to consider the parents advice instead of following it obediently. Following in parents footsteps, some families created dynasties of teachers, doctors and engineers. From one side the members of these families can share their experience and keep their family secrets. They have common interests and always have a lot of topics for discussion.
